I would observe, that all of the "low cost" equipment and techniques that are being described here were developed by "greedy" corporations and hospitals in the USA (or possibly Europe). It's easier to be cheap when you don't have to fund any original R&D.

Strong statements need to be backed up with strong data. You said "all of the equipment and techniques". Did you not read the Gawande section? Seems like the techniques are new and weren't invented by us.
